Abstract:

This paper aims to analyze the impact of servant leadership on organizational culture,

organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), and customer

satisfaction. This paper also aims to analyze the impact of organizational culture,

organizational commitment, and OCB on customer satisfaction.

Data was obtained from 240 handycraft customers in the community of handicraft craftsmen

in Bekasi Regency. The data was analyzed by using Structural Equation Modeling. The

validity and reliability test by using factor analysis shows that the instrument used in

research is valid and reliable. The results showed: servant leadership correlated

significantly with organizational culture; servant leadership is significantly related to

OCB;OCB has a significant relationship with organizational commitment; servant

leadership has a significant relationship with customer satisfaction;and organizational

commitment has a significant relationship with customer satisfaction.

Therefore, servant leadership can have a direct relationship with customer satisfaction, and

servant leadership can be organizational culture. Knowledge of the effect of these

relationships can be used as input to design strategies to improve customer satisfaction. The

findings of the effect of servant leadership in the organizational culture on customer

satisfaction have been discussed, however, there are limitations and guidelines for future

research that needs to be shown.

1. Introduction

In today's competitive business environment, customer satisfaction is an increasingly

important component of an organization's effectiveness (Berry and Parasuraman,

1992; Fornell, Mithas, Morgeson and Krishnan, 2006). Increasing competition in

the service sector has motivated companies to invest all possible resources to

improve service quality in the eyes of customers (Salanova et al., 2005). Salahat

(2016) has examined the role of employee performance as a mediator varible between

leadership style and customer satisfaction in the Palestinian context.This study

examines the structural equation model related to leadership style. Some researchers

conclude that there is a positive and significant relationship between leadership style

and customer satisfaction (Mohammadi, 2013; Topcu et al., 2015).

Michael (2007) has examined the significant relationship between servant leadership

in organizational culture towards customer satisfaction. The contribution from this

literature is to propose a model of servant leadership in a serving culture that will

shape organizational commitment. Agwu’s (2013), Boonand Arumugam’s (2006)

results from data analysis show that there is a significant relationship between servant

leadership in organizational culture with organizational commitment. Robert Greenleaf

defines an effective leader as a person who serves his followers, while his followers

follow the leadership style of his leadership (Bennis and Nanus, 1997). Servant

leadership focuses, supports and develops individuals within an institution (Allen et

al., 2016). This means that the style of servant leadership that is in organizational

culture, organizational commitment, and employee performance can satisfy customers.

Leadership is associated with organizational outcomes such as team effectiveness and

organizational performance (Chen, Kirkman, Kanfer, Allen and Rosen, 2007; Lin,

2009). Servant leadership in organizational culture and organizational commitment

affects the performance of women entrepreneurs so as to satisfy customers. Therefore,

this paper addresses the following research questions:

1. Does servant leadership significantly influence organizational culture?

2. Does the organizational culture significantly influence organizational

behavior?

3. Does organizational behavior significantly influence customer satisfaction?

4. Does servant leadership have a significant effect on organizational

commitment?

5. Does organizational commitment have a significant effect on customer

satisfaction?

6. Does the organizational culture have a significant effect on customer

satisfaction?

7. Does servant leadership have a significant effect on customer satisfaction?

8. Does servant leadership have a significant effect on organizational

behavior?

9. Does organizational commitment have a significant effect on organizational

behavior?

2. Literature Review

2.1. Servant Leadership

Leadership is a skill used to influence followers in an organization to work hard in

order to achieve company goals for the common good (Barrow 1977; Cyert 2006;

Plsek and Wilson 2001). Leaders are not always the most important and not always in

front, but a leader must be able to bea servant serving his followers and have an

interdependent role, no longer a hero or solo leader but a team leader (Bolden et.al.,

2003). Some authors believe that leadership is the process of influencing others to

achieve organizational goals (Ursachi, 2005). Servant leadership trusts subordinance to

act in the best interests of the organization and focuses on followers rather than

organizational goals (Stone, Russell and Patterson, 2004). Leaders who serve,

appreciate people, develop people, build community, open and give and share in their

leadership. Patterson (2003) states that an important dimension of servant leadership is

agape love, humility, altruism, vision, trust, empowerment, and service. Spears

(1998b) emphasizes listening, empathy, healing, awareness, persuasion,

conceptualization, foresight, stewardship, commitment, and community development.

Empirical research in servant leadership began in the early 2000.

Servant leadership is a viable leadership theory that assists organizations and improves

the well-being of followers (Parris and Peachey, 2013). Servant leadership is an

increasingly popular concept, but lacks empirical support (Farling et al., 1999). Spears,

(1998) sumerizes Greenleaf's 10 attributes of servant leadershipwhich are: listening;

empathy; healing; awareness; persuasion; conceptualization; foresight; stewardship;

commitment to the growth of people; and building community.

Russell, (2002) writes from some previous researchers the attributes of servant

leadership: Vision; Honesty; Integrity; Service; Modeling; Pioneering; Appreciation of

others; Empowerment. Culture of honesty will lead to integrity of employees and

honesty of the leaders will be a role model for followers (Amena, 2013), mutual

respect between the leaders and employees will increase employee empowerment.

2.2. Organization Culture

Culture is a dynamic phenomenon that surrounds our lives at all times, constantly

being enforced and created by our interactions with others and shaped by leader

behavior, and a set of structures, routines, rules, and norms that guide and limit

behavior (Schein, 2004 ). Organizational culture is a system of meanings, values and

beliefs incorporated within an organization that are a reference to action and

differentiates one organization from another (Mas'ud quoted in Purnama, 2013).

According to Hofstede, (2008) organizational culture can be defined as a collective

programming of the mind that differentiates members of one organization from others.

There are seven cultural dimensions (distance of power, individualism versus

collectivism, masculinity versus femininity, uncertainty versus avoidance of certainty,

long-term versus short-term orientation, indulgence versus restraint, and

Page 4: Relationship between Servant Leadership in Organizational Culture, Organizational … · 2019. 1. 6. · organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), and

557

monumentalism versus self-evasion) in the book 'corporate character' (Goffee and

Jones, 1998; Akopova and Przhedetskaya, 2016; Sultanova and Chechina, 2016).

Customer satisfaction is always associated with the company's service to customers,

influenced by the culture of the company, and the culture associated with leadership

style. Companies must choose the right leadership style for the company. This paper

discusses this gap by developing a model of how the strategic language of leaders

mediates between servant leadership and worker outcomes. According to Spears

(1998), the leader's ability to communicate is very important, however, very few have

attention. Organizational culture refers to the beliefs and values that have existed in an

organization for a long time and with the trust of staff and the value of their work that

will affect their attitudes and behavior.

2.3. Organizational Commitment

Commitment is a combination of confidence and the motivational beliefs and

enthusiasm of an employee as well as the development of the employee over the tasks

it handles (Blanchard, 1991). Luthans, (2006) states organizational commitment is an

attitude that reflects employees' loyalty to the organization. It is also an ongoing

process whereby members convey their concern to the organization, success and

sustainable progress as well.The style of leadership has been found to influence the

affective and normative commitment of followers (Muthia, 2015). Tourigny, (2001)

servant leadership is significantly related to the commitment of his followers, as

leaders influence followers to produce higher performance and contribute to achieving

organizational goals. Commitment developed by Meyer, Allen and Smith, (1993) to

measure affective commitment and normative commitment. Servant leadership has an

effect on follower commitment so that its performance is an important responsibility.

Direct leadership affects team effectiveness (DeRue, Nahrgang, Wellman and

Humphrey, 2011; Piccolo et al., 2012; Baldacchino et al., 2017).

The influence of leadership on the followers also affects the effectiveness of a team

(Carsten and Uhl-Bien, 2013; Hollander, 1992). Organizational commitment is the

feeling of an employee's attachment to the organization. The more an employee is

satisfied with the work in the organization, the more committed and loyal to the

organization. The leadership style of serving can be practiced to influence the

follower's commitment to the organization (Muthia, 2015). There is a strong positive

relationship has been found between servant leadership, workplace confidence, and

team commitment (Dannhauser and Boshoff, 2006).

2.4. Organizational Citizenship Behavior

Behavior is an important determinant of organizational and individual outcomes such

as efficiency, profitability, innovation, and employee job satisfaction (Erturk, 2007;

Jha and Jha, 2009). Organization Citizenship Behavior (OCB) is defined as a work-

related behavior aimed at individuals or organizations as a whole outside the conduct

of formal organizations to promote efficiency and effective operation of the

organization (Hoffman, Blair, Meriac and Woehr, 2007; Organ, 1988 ; Somech and

Page 5: Relationship between Servant Leadership in Organizational Culture, Organizational … · 2019. 1. 6. · organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), and

Relationship between Servant Leadership in Organizational Culture, Organizational

Commitment, Organizational Citizenship Behaviour and Customer Satisfaction

558

Drach-Zahavy, 2004; Williams and Anderson, 1991). Dirks and Ferrin's (2002) states

that there is a relationship between servant leadership and Organization Citizenship

Behavior. There is a positive relationship between OCB and satisfaction (Bateman and

Organ, 1983) and commitment (O'Reilly and Chatman, 1986). Satisfaction and

commitment have been shown positively related to servant leadership (Barbuto and

Wheeler, 2006; Braye, 2000; Laub, 1999; Liden, Wayne, Zhao and Henderson, 2008;

Reinke, 2004; Bashmakov et al., 2015).

2.5. Customer Satisfaction

The long-term survival of service organizations requires adaptation that is oriented

towards achieving maximum customer satisfaction (Ambroz, 2008). The service

industry is growing rapidly in the global marketplace, with many service

organizations seeking profit and competitive advantage by focusing on service

quality and customer satisfaction (Wen, 2012). The servant leadership model

proposed by Robert Greenleaf (1977) seems very suitable for employees can provide

customer satisfaction with employee empowerment. Customer satisfaction can not

be separated from the organization's behavior in dealing with customers (Shahani-

Denning, 2000). According to Zeithaml and Bitner (2000) satisfaction is the

response or response of consumers regarding the fulfillment of needs. Satisfaction is

an assessment of the characteristics or features of the product or service, or the

product itself, which provides the level of consumer satisfaction with regard to the

fulfillment of consumer needs consumer responses regarding the fulfillment of

needs.

3. Methodology

3.1. Design

The theoretical model asserts that servant leadership affects the process of

establishing an organizational culture. In this study, to analyze the extent to which

servant leadership affects the process of establishing organizational culture, causal

patterns have been used. In several research studies in the literature, close

relationships have been detected between servant leadership and organizational

culture (Akbari et al., 2014). In his research Tsai (2011) considered servant

leadership behaviors as an independent variable, while customer satisfaction is

accepted as a dependent variable.

3.2. Population and sampling

Structural Equal Modeling (SEM) is an analytical technique used to test a set of

complex relationships between simultaneous variables. This complex relationship

consists of more than one dependent variable with many independent variables.

Each construct is created by the indicator variable (Ferdinand, 2006).

3.4. Conceptual Framework

The conceptual framework of this research based on the literature review above is

presented in Figure 1.

4. Measures

There are several methods that can be used to see the convergent validity of the

construct measurement model. Hair et al, (2010) revealed that convergence validity

testing can be done by looking at factor score values (λ), or standardized loading

estimates on Amos output. Convergent validity is evident when the value of variance

extracted (VE) obtained from standardized loading estimates has a value of 0.5 or

higher, and ideally 0.7. The validity of the construct will be achieved if all indicators

reflecting the construct have statistical t value> 2 (Purwanto, 2002, 2003), which is

evidence of good convergence validity. The statistical t value in Amos 21.0 output

can be seen by referring to the critical ratio value.

The results of the measurement model test using CFA are shown in Table 4.1 above

which shows that the mean value of factor weights on all tested items has values

above 0.5 and the value of statistical t or critical ratio> 2 (CR> 2). Therefore, based

on the test results of confirmatory factor analysis, the convergence validity test in

this study has been fulfilled because it has met the criteria of factor weight value

above 0.5 (Hair et al., 2010; Purwanto, 2002; 2003).

4.1 Goodness of Fit ModelTest

The size of the GOF shows how well the specified model returns the covariance

matrix among the indicator variables (Hair et al., 2010). According to Hair et al.,

(2010) the researcher should report at least one incremental index and one absolute

index, with an additional χ2 and corresponding to the degree of freedom, and at least

one of the badness-of-fit. Table 2 presents the conformity measure index used in this

study along with the reference values for each index and the resulting value of each

index.

In this study, the critical ratio value used was ± 1.96 at the 0.05 and ± 2.58

significance levels at the 0.01 significance level. The hypothesis in this study is

supported if the effect of a construct on another construct yields an estimated

parameter value of a critical ratio (C.R) value greater than ± 1.96 at the 0.05

significance level. If the critical ratio value is greater than ± 2.58, the causal

relationship between the two constructs is significant at the 0.01 significance level.

6. Discussion

Empirical results support a significant relationship between servant leadership and

customer satisfaction, however servant leadership can be related to customer

satisfaction through the intervening variables: organization behavior and culture

organization. Servant leadership has a significant influence on organizational culture

(Harwiki, 2013). According to Patterson, (2003) leaders serve with love, act with

humility, are altruistic, visionary to followers, believe in, serve and empower

followers. The characteristics of a serving leader have an impact on organizational

culture. Li (2015) examines how organizational culture affects employee behavior. It

is important to understand that to improve the organization's business management,

the organizational culture must have the right impact on employees.

Coyne and Ong (2007) identified five major OCB dimensions: altruism, courtesy,

sportsmanship, awareness and civic virtue. Organizational culture significantly

influences organizational behavior (Nwugwo, 2001). Yadav and Punia (2012)

emphasized servant leadership’s impact on OCB. Organizational behavior

significantly affects customer satisfaction. Positive changes in employee attitudes

lead to positive changes in customer satisfaction (Caterina, 2005). Employee

behaviors creates customer satisfaction (Oguz, 2014). Bowen and Shoemaker (1998)

convey that the positive behavior of employees towards customers will bring the

company's name, organizational culture directly influence the organizational

citizenship.

Chinomona (2013) concluded that servant leadership has a strong influence on

employee commitment. Mahdi (2014) examined the impact of employee perceptions

on leadership behaviors and found that servant leadership had a significant effect on

organizational commitment. Lok (2004) examines the influence of organizational

culture and leadership style on job satisfaction and organizational commitment

Leadership (Williams and Hazer, 1986) and organizational culture (Trice and Beyer,

1993) have been shown to have a significant impact on job satisfaction and

organizational commitment (Lok and Crawford, 1999; 2001).

Gillespie et al., (2007) has examined the relationship between organizational culture

and customer satisfaction by using business unit data from two different companies.

Organizational culture has a significant effect on customer satisfaction. Salman et

al., (2014), the purpose of his research is to examine the impact of organizational

Page 11: Relationship between Servant Leadership in Organizational Culture, Organizational … · 2019. 1. 6. · organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), and

Relationship between Servant Leadership in Organizational Culture, Organizational

Commitment, Organizational Citizenship Behaviour and Customer Satisfaction

564

culture on job satisfaction, employee commitment and employee retention within the

organization, his research findings prove that organizational culture is an important

element that greatly influences commitment, job satisfaction and employee

retention.Serving is at the heart of servant leadership (Greenleaf, 1977). Therefore,

leaders are asked to show value in their behavior, attitudes, and values. Servant

leadership has significant effect on organizational behavior (Mohsen et al., 2014).

This enables staff to duplicate leadership styles to serve their customers through the

humility, service, reliability, and love of Agapao.

7. Conclusion

Servant leadership has a positive correlation with employee commitment and

organizational citizenship behavior, thus satisfying the customer. It is understood

that the behavior of a leader who works to serve employees or followers, as well as

upholding values such as empowerment, humility and empathy, will make the

employees engage and loyal to the organization helping create a positive

organizational culture. Thus, this paper conveys that servant leadership in

organizational culture as well as organizational commitment and OCB has a strong

positive influence on customer satisfaction.

Servant leadership can be introduced to future research models to examine whether

servant leadership affects employee commitment to superiors above and beyond

other relational-based behaviors. Finally, a similar study can bring this research

forward by examining these research variables in other industries and cultural

settings.

8. Implications of the study

The limitation of the research is that the sample used in this research is too short at 4

months and taken randomly. Therefore it is necessary to do research by using a

wider sample of data from the same community or from a larger population

(provincial level). some suggestion for future research agendas based from this

research are: 1) future research needs to add or include the construct of other

variables in the form of exogenous constructs or increase the number of samples so

that the coefficient of determinations can be more varied; 2) future research should

be directed to a larger population by taking from Regency institutions or at the

provincial level.
